In the main event Iraqi Sympathizer Sgt. Slaughter was set to defend his WWE championship against Hulk Hogan at the outdoor Los Angeles Coliseum. But as the road to Wrestlemania drew closer to its destination, the conflict in the middle east began to heighten, and security around Slaughter and the entire event became a concern. With the safety of its Superstars and fans in mind, the WWE chose to move Wrestlemania indoors, marking of the rare times that the current events worked against WWE's original plans.
